Are you saying this because you have actual evidence? The place where evidence is needed is in support of the hypothesis that these questions actually work (in favor of achieving their stated ends). That is, the question to ask should

Nobody in the US is going to check the overseas origin very thoroughly, Well, plenty of people would very much like to . But in practice this is often quite difficult in many high-value jurisdictions, for various reasons.
